Great location, comfortable space, all the amenities we needed on vacation. We loved the decor and feel of the "cottage". Front outdoor sitting area was a huge plus! Host was welcoming and quick to answer questions.
Wonderful cottage within walking distance to everything. Provided everything needed for beach as well as day to day living. Loved enjoying the porch after a day at the beach.
Great location and everything our family needed. Near the beach and a couple blocks from food and drinks. Comfortable accommodations and excellent communication. We'll be back next year.
The cottage was just nicely redone and very clean! Very close to everything….beach and town all in short walking distance! Eric was great with really good communication! Had a great time even though the weather was rainy at times!
This place was perfect! Easy walk to both the beach and the village. Super clean, good beds, cute house. We all enjoyed it so much and would stay again if we were in the area. I highly recommend it!
Traveled with my adult daughters and our cavapoo , everything was perfect Loved location we walked to village , beach , the cottage was excellent nicely done Comfortable perfect vacation
Spent a long weekend in Siesta Key and fell in love with our place. Perfect location to beach, eateries, and local shops.
Eric was responsive and took care of our minor asks.
Definitely a repeat destination for us.
Great place with excellent location for your beach vacation.
Nice owners and managers, very easy to work with. Seamless check-in process. You can’t beat the location of this property. About a block from a wonderful beach and half mile for many restaurants, bars and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We were nervous to book since there weren't any reviews yet but so glad we took the chance. Debbie was a great host, very accommodating and communicative anytime we needed. The house fit the 6 of us perfectly and had everything we needed. It was a 3 min walk to the beach and 7 mins to all the restaurants, we had a blast. Thanks again!

Thanks. We love our newly purchased beach cottage and having fun updating and decorating. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great location, but had ant problem during our stay
We loved the location, but had to leaver after the first night as we had ants in and around the beds. We now have to find a way to get a refund since we had to find another location where our 5 year old would feel comfortable staying.

I take this very seriously but it was an isolated incident that we were not informed on the day of check in and VRBO was not notified. We immediately called Fahey Pest for an inspection and treatment. No ants were located per their report and follow up. It is Florida and a block from beach that is why we have preventive pest control. Ants are attracted to food. We were not informed and not sure why the reservation was not canceled as you should never stay if you are not comfortable.
The place was nicely decorated and very close to the beach and activities.
The place was nicely decorated and very close to the beach and activities. I would come back, but they would have to change on the beds , every one of them. They were very springy and uncomfortable. That is the only thing that was bad, they need a new trash can as well in the kitchen. Dont get me wrong they were very friendly and the decor was as cute as a button, but the beds were horrible.

The queen beds are 6 months old and firm with mattress toppers on them.
Siesta Key is a bit of paradise with our beautiful beach.
This property worked out perfectly for our family of 5. Enough beds for everyone with room to spare. House had everything we needed. Beach gear and laundry machines were incredibly useful too. Lovely front porch to people watch or listen to the rain fall as storms came through periodically. Amazing communication, host definitely met and exceeded our expectations. Location was perfect. Walk or bike ride to the beach, we went multiple times each day, water and sunsets are gorgeous. Can also walk to the main drag of shops/restaurants, super easy and so glad we didn’t need to drive at all, unless we explored other areas (Lido Key has kayaking excursions through the Mangroves, and to the south Caspersen Beach is a great place to hunt for shark teeth). We would definitely rent this cottage again! Highly recommend.
This is a very nice, quaint property in a small community of cottages. We rented with another family and their kids and had units 13A and 13B which were right next to one another. We shared a patio out front and ate breakfast and dinner there almost every day and night. This particular patio faced Canal street which is a cut through street to the village (great people watching). If we wanted more privacy, we could have moved to the back patio that belonged to the other unit we had. The Village was only 5 minutes and the beach was a short walk across the street. In the unit itself, everything was clearly updated (I'm guessing because of the hurricanes). Furniture was nice, had all the kitchen utensils and appliances we needed, plus great beach accessories (chairs, coolers, carts, toys). Our only suggestion to future renters is to make sure you know the area you want to stay. We weren't super familiar, so many of our friends were staying down near the intersection of Stickney Point and Midnight Pass which was about a 35-40 min walk for our kids. Oh, and our host was a great communicator who was very generous.
The cottage was perfect for our girls weekend! Very clean, the perfect size and the covered porch is everything you didn’t know you needed! We ordered dinner and ate there every single night, staying out until almost midnight talking to families as they walked by! It’s a 5 min walk to the village and beach. Very quiet at night. I text Deb a few times during our stay and she responded right away! I’ve already booked the cottage to return in July with my family.
This place was everything we expected and so much more! The pictures did not do it justice. It’s in walking distance to the village with all of the best bars, restaurants, and cutest shops. As well as within walking distance of the beach. The property owner was wonderful to work with and it was very clean and well kept. There was 6 of us that came for a bachelorette party and there was plenty of room for us all. Can’t wait to come back!
Location was awesome. We were wishing waking distance of the beach and village with shops and restaurants. They provided everything needed for the beach including towel, wagon, toys, chairs and umbrella. Definitely recommend.
This cottage was in a perfect location . Furnished so cute and was very comfortable . Very Easy communication with Deb the property Mgr.
Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend her place!!
This property was a great find! Conveniently located within walking distance from the beach / Village / bars and restaurants. The house was clean, cozy and beachy. The property owner also provided us with a wagon extra chairs and beach necessities which was very useful to carry our belongings too and from the beach each day!
The property was exactly as promised. Super close to downtown and to the beach. Check in process was extremely easy. All beach equipment including chairs, umbrella, and a cart to transport it were available. Deb responded to us within an hour to answer any questions that we had. We had a fantastic trip!
We just wrapped up a 3 night stay at this cottage in Siesta. Overall, we were pleased and would rent here again. The location is perfect. You are literally a block away from the main drag. Blase Cafe/Martini Bar is the closest (lots of live music on Fridays). We walked to dinner almost every night; we highly recommend Cafe Gabbiano (delicious meat and cheese boards) and Summer House (for steak). The beach isn't far either and a beach wagon is provided. Granted the beach access has a long sandy walk to the ocean so you will get an arm workout. A beach closet is provided and it contained 2 Tommy Bahama chairs, a small cooler, a small umbrella, and noodles. I did see toys in there as well. The hose and outdoor shower made it easy to get the sand off everything afterward. Another big plus of this cottage is the powerful AC. It easily keeps the house cool. The house had a Keurig machine.
We couldn't give it 5 stars because we found the cottage in need of a deep clean. The doors, baseboards, cabinets, exhaust fan in the 2nd bathroom were dusty or dirty. While the main room and bathrooms were updated, the bedrooms were a bit dated and the beds seemed cheap. We slept okay, but just kinda low-quality in terms of bedding and mattress type. So just be aware that it isn't a luxury cottage, more shabby chic. Finally, the adjoining 1 bedroom cottage was being rented by an older couple with a little dog. Unfortunately, the dog would bark nonstop when they were away. We could hear him through the shared walls. And it was annoying. I guess the cottages are pet-friendly, fyi.
Again, an enjoyable stay!
